The history of Puerto Ricans in the so-called "Babel of Steel" dates back more than a century.

Esta obra indaga en los orígenes familiares del dramaturgo del Siglo de Oro Felipe Godínez. En ella se trata de la persecución inquisitorial padecida en tierras portuguesas y en Venecia, del traslado a Andalucía y de la inserción socio-económica de unos refugiados religiosos.
